Good day all respected members,

I am an NRI and I have not filed my tax for the past 6 years. I've recently come to know that I have TDS deposited in all these years and I would like to file my ITR for claiming the same.

I have Sent a letter to the JO requesting condonation for filing tax of earlier years, however it's been two weeks and I have not got any response from them.

Could somebody guide me on what is to be done and how I can successfully get the condonation request from the respective JO

Thanks and regards

Dean

Quick Summary

An NRI is seeking advice on filing Income Tax Returns (ITR) for the past six years to claim TDS, as they have recently discovered TDS has been deposited during these years. They have sent a condonation request letter to the Jurisdictional Officer (JO) but have not yet received a response after two weeks. The discussion explores options like calling the JO, visiting in person, or filing an online grievance, though the effectiveness of online grievances for manually sent letters is debated. The general consensus is that personal visits or persistent follow-ups might be necessary, as responses can take 1-2 months.

No grievance can be filed as letter is posted manually or by mail not through website.

How long does it usually take? I have also submitted a grievance as it's taken 2 weeks already, this will serve as a reminder. Would calling be a good option ? And the number is on the portal ?
